can do this ok, but imagine where I work today: 15 developers, each working in different aspects of the same big system. What do we do? enter our views, functions, and procedures in a data dictionary, which will take care of versioning stuff (quasi-cvs style), and they stay there (along with their comments on correctness, performance, etc) and in the database catalog for our use: when someone needs to use a function I developed, it simply asks the data admin -- via dictionary -- for a read grant for some role on the dev database, and when stuff is ready for production, he/she asks for a transfer of the functions and grants.
If it's in a stored procedure (or, better yet, stored function) when your business rules changes, instead of changing 2438 queries, you change it only in the database.
28 years? You do know that there are a lot of people in the media business working for 50 years now, don't you? Even here in Brasil, most of our TV pioneers (the ones that didn't do drugs to death, mostly) are still alive. Damn, only one of our 1980's rock stars is dead (the rest is alive and kicking, Rolling Stones style), and there are plenty of "bossa nova" (1960's) guys around... Mind you, I do think 25/35 years is enough for copyright protection, but not because it's the "work expectancy" of an author.
Maybe we should just set up our own one, and not let idiots or politicians (but I repeat myself) join in. The problem is, the moment we do set our own one up, we become both (idiots and politicians).
People that participate in obfuscated source competitions are the ones that most likely:
#1 - can read and understand other people's source code, no matter how obfuscated it seems to be; and
#2 - give the proper value to clear and consistent code, naming and indentation, because they know how hard can be to read improperly-written code.
As for amaroK, I must admit it's nice but I know where my albums are and I got bored with statistics about 8 seconds before I deleted my audioscrobbler account. I use Beep if I'm running X. I have a somewhat complicated directory structure (who gave me such and such album, among other info), and so gathering and re-separating is useful for me. And the stats are nice for me to say "hey, last time I heard this was some months ago, let's play it again..."
The same song in two different albums (at least for Brasilian artists) is a different production... different guest singing/playing, new arrangements, different beat, etc.
Gold/silver/copper/platinum coins are falsifiable (you can plate a coin made of another (cheaper) heavy metal league). Mettalic powder is not very practical. No, the only way of controlling the value of stuff is _less_ government meddling and _more_ information available to everybody.
(needed) manages your albums (pretty) gets album cover to display so you can visualize (good) manages your preferences/statistics (you can see what you are listening to) (pretty) presents those informations in an aesthetic way (good) or just gets minimized to the systray (good) all operations are two to three clicks away.
Why is $1800 considered a lot of money for a programmer? Maybe because in some countries it's the yearly wage of said programmer?????? Hint: a high-pay programmer in my country makes circa US$ 10000/yr.
To highlight, its the commercial license wording that excludes developing under the GPL and getting a license at the last minute, not the wording of the GPL (which many people assume after reading the F.A.Q.)
with the "inflated price point" thing. Have you ever read Qt? It's very, very expensive to develop/maintain/keep going forward a library so complete, robust, etc.
But many other people does not need UTF-8 most of the time, or even never. I am one of them. Also a smaller editor tends to have less bugs and fits better in rescue discs.
As I told before, vim-tiny is really tiny; and, as I told before, even a rescue disk may need an utf8-aware editor, because many linux distros are bringing utf8 as their default encoding nowadays.
Do you use linux? What do you use to recode a DVD to the PSP? What settings did you use (fps, bandwidth, others) (for Office Space)? What's the size of the movie?
1. You did not specify. You asked simply "what Vim can do that Moe can't". 2. For a text editor, being capable of editing multi-language files is an absolute imperative nowadays. Did you know.desktop files contain all the translations (English, Deutsch, Korean, Japanese etc) of the label of an application? Many people need to use an utf8-capable editor. 3. "Simply use another editor"? Come on, I tought you were asking for information and help (which I tried to provide here) but you seem to be only interested in advertising Moe. 4. I found your answer deeply disrespectful, and I was only trying to help.
Other answers to your question:
A. Vim can execute commands in python, perl, ruby, or tcl (whichever the user prefer) on a line or a block of your text -- no pipes involved (ie. fast). B. Vim can display file differences in a visual sort of way. C. Vim can read make's output and put you in the proper point of an error. D. Besides the four scripting languages, vim has its own, quite powerful, configuration && macro language. E. Vim has a small, bare-bones version too (vim-tiny). F. Vim has all the advertised functionalities of Moe, even in the -tiny version -- and it can be used modeless, too (-easy option). AFAIK, there is not a lot of difference between the usage of the modeless option of vim and Notepad. G. Syntax highlighting. H. Smart indentation for C/C++, Perl, Java, and other languages. I. Vim can read grep's output and put you in the place where you found your regex. J. Many files, one screen. K. If Moe don't have UTF8, I will safely suppose it doesn't have left-to-right text, too (arabic, hebrew, etc).
Is this enough for you? I hope at least A-J help you.
the first line of the description already let me down:
GNU Moe is a powerful, 8-bit clean, text editor for ISO-8859 and ASCII character encodings. It has a modeless, user-friendly interface, online help, multiple windows, unlimited undo/redo capability, unlimited line length, global search/replace (on all buffers at once), block operations, automatic indentation, word wrapping, filename completion, directory browser, duplicate removal from prompt histories, delimiter matching, etc.
Why is UTF-8 out? I speak Portuguese natively, and my preferred encoding is not latin1 anymore (because with UTF8 a lot of stuff in Japonese can be cleanly in the same page as my Portuguese text, for instance). I also happen to like vim's modal interface.
He is wrong, and so are you. Google (as stated many, many times) only organizes information that is already public. Everything a goverment wants to keep secret (and, mind you, governments should NOT do much stuff secretly) it should do underground (Cheyenne Mountain) and isolated from other, non-google type of spying. But mainly, governments shoud refrain from doing anything secretly. How to make a fission bomb is not a secret anymore; how to refine uranium so it can be used still is, but not for long. The secrets are coming out of the box and we should be able to understand their consequences and deal with them. I (for one) am waiting for a safer time when everyone is capable of making an atomic bomb (or putting a phaser rifle to overload, with similar results) -- maybe then everyone will think twice before doing so.

Everybody I know who passed sixth grade Geography with "D"s knows where Tunisia and Ghana is.
but down here those "silent air cooling dothans" are as expensive as the processor you are trying to cool with them to overclock.
And you spend 100 times the difference in cooling gear :-)

is in the 10GB range, and the import is already quite slow. But... what do you use instead? Do GNOME has a similar app?

Would you care to explain your answer to me?
(needed) manages your albums
(pretty) gets album cover to display so you can visualize
(good) manages your preferences/statistics (you can see what you are listening to)
(pretty) presents those informations in an aesthetic way
(good) or just gets minimized to the systray
(good) all operations are two to three clicks away.
(from your list above) are inferior products IMHO.
How/why is that?
